Guide To The Causes, Risk Factors, Complications, And Triggers For Fibromyalgia

Insufficient Exercise

Many patients with this disorder have a concern about exercise making their symptoms worse if they exercise too much or otherwise stress out their muscles. This can be true. In addition, the symptoms of fibromyalgia can also make being physically active difficult. However, insufficient exercise can also trigger a flare-up of symptoms and make them worse overall. Patients with this condition need to be physically active, though they must include exercise carefully. Specifically, they should start low and gradually increase how much they exercise and how intensely they do so over time. Research shows that getting even a small amount of exercise can reduce the severity of a patient's fibromyalgia symptoms when they have a bad day.
